Under Islamic State The Punishment For
Abusing The Prophet Is Death
1 – The ruling on one who insults the Prophet (peace and blessings
of Allaah be upon him)
The scholars are unanimously agreed that a Muslim who insults the
Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) becomes a kaafir
and an apostate who is to be executed. This consensus was narrated
by more than one of the scholars, such as Imaam Ishaaq ibn Raahawayh,
Ibn al-Mundhir, al-Qaadi ‘Iyaad, al-Khattaabi and others. Al-Saarim
al-Maslool, 2/13-16
This ruling is indicated by the Qur’aan and Sunnah.
In the Qur’aan it says (interpretation of the meaning):
“The hypocrites fear lest a Soorah (chapter of the Qur’aan) should
be revealed about them, showing them what is in their hearts. Say:
‘(Go ahead and) mock! But certainly Allaah will bring to light all
that you fear.’
If you ask them (about this), they declare:
‘We were only talking idly and joking.’ Say: ‘Was it at Allaah, and
His Ayaat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations,
etc.) and His Messenger that you were mocking?’
Make no excuse; you disbelieved after you had believed”
[al-Tawbah 9:64-66]
This verse clearly states that mocking Allaah, His verses
and His Messenger constitutes kufr, so that applies even more so to
insulting. The verse also indicates that whoever belittles the
Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) is
also a kaafir, whether he was serious or joking.
Al-Nasaa’i narrated (4071) that Abu Barzah
al-Aslami said: A man spoke harshly to Abu Bakr al-Siddeeq and I
said, ‘Shall I kill him?’ He rebuked me and said, ‘That is not for
anyone after the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah
be upon him) .’” (Saheeh al-Nasaa’i, 3795)
It may be noted from this that the Prophet (peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him) had the right to kill whoever
insulted him and spoke harshly to him, and that included both
Muslims and kaafirs.
The second issue is: if a person who insulted the Prophet (peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him) repents, should his repentance be
accepted or not?
The scholars are agreed that if such a person repents sincerely and
regrets what he has done, this repentance will benefit him on the
Day of Resurrection and Allaah will forgive him.
But they differed as to whether his repentance should be accepted in
this world and whether that means he is no longer subject to the
sentence of execution
Maalik and Ahmad were of the view that it should not be accepted,
and that he should be killed even if he has repented.
They quoted
as evidence the Sunnah and proper understanding of the ahaadeeth:
In the Sunnah, Abu Dawood (2683) narrated
that Sa’d ibn Abi Waqqaas said: “On the Day of the Conquest of
Makkah, the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be
upon him) granted safety to the people except for four men and two
women, and he named them, and Ibn Abi Sarh… As for Ibn Abi Sarh, he
hid with ‘Uthmaan ibn ‘Affaan, and when the Messenger of Allaah
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) called the people to
give their allegiance to him, he brought him to stand before the
Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). He
said, “O Prophet of Allaah, accept the allegiance of ‘Abd-Allaah.”
He raised his head and looked at him three times, refusing him, then
he accepted his allegiance after the third time. Then he turned to
his companions and said: “Was there not among you any smart man who
could have got up and killed this person when he saw me refusing to
give him my hand and accept his allegiance?” They said, “We do not
know what is in your heart, O Messenger of Allaah. Why did you not
gesture to us with your eyes?” He said, “It is not befitting for a
Prophet to betray a person with a gesture of his eyes.”
This clearly indicates that in a
case such as this apostate who had insulted the Prophet (S), it is
not obligatory to accept his repentance, rather it is permissible to
kill him even if he comes repentant.
With regard to proper understanding of the
ahaadeeth:
They said that insulting the Prophet (peace
and blessings of Allaah be upon him) has to
do with two rights, the right of Allaah and
the right of a human being. With regard to
the right of Allaah, this is obvious,
because it is casting aspersions upon His
Message, His Book and His Religion. As for
the right of a human being, this is also
obvious, because it is like trying to
slander the Prophet (peace and blessings of
Allaah be upon him) by this insult. In a
case which involves both the rights of
Allaah and the rights of a human being, the
rights of the human beings are not dropped
when the person repents, as in the case of
the punishment for banditry, because if the
bandit has killed someone, that means that
he must be executed and crucified. But if he
repents before he is caught, then the right
of Allaah over him, that he should be
executed and crucified, no longer applies,
but the rights of other humans with regard
to qisaas (retaliatory punishment) still
stand. The same applies in this case. If the
one who insulted the Prophet (peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him) repents,
then the rights of Allaah no longer apply,
but there remains the right of the Messenger
of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be
upon him), which still stand despite his
repentance.
If it is said, “Can we not forgive him,
because during his lifetime the Prophet
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)
forgave many of those who had insulted him
and he did not execute them?” The answer is:
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah
be upon him) sometimes chose to forgive
those who had insulted him, and sometimes he
ordered that they should be executed, if
that served a greater purpose. But now his
forgiveness is impossible because he is
dead, so the execution of the one who
insults him remains the right of Allaah, His
Messenger and the believers, and the one who
deserves to be executed cannot be let off,
so the punishment must be carried out.
|
Insulting the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) is
one of the worst of forbidden actions, and it constitutes kufr and
apostasy from Islam, according to scholarly consensus, whether done
seriously or in jest. The one who does that is to be executed even
if he repents and whether he is a Muslim or a kaafir. If he repents
sincerely and regrets what he has done, this repentance will benefit
him on the Day of Resurrection and Allaah will forgive him.
Ibn Taymiyah (may Allaah have mercy on him) wrote a
valuable book on this matter, entitled al-Saarim al-Maslool ‘ala
Shaatim al-Rasool which every believer should read, especially in
these times when a lot of hypocrites and heretics dare to insult the
Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) because they
see that the Muslims are careless and feel little protective
jealousy towards their religion and their Prophet, and they do not
implement the shar’i punishment which would deter these people and
their ilk from committing this act of blatant kufr.

the rights of the human beings are not dropped when the person

A
woman used to abuse and disparage Prophet Muhammad [peace be upon
him]
Sunan
of Abu-DawoodHadith 4349 Narrated byAli ibn AbuTalib
A
Jewess used to abuse the Prophet (peace be upon him) and disparage
him. A man strangled her till she died. The Apostle of Allah (peace
be upon him) declared that no recompense was payable for her blood.
Sunan
of Abu-DawoodHadith 4348 Narrated byAbdullah Ibn Abbas
A
blind man had a slave-mother who used to abuse the Prophet (peace be
upon him) and disparage him. He forbade her but she did not stop. He
rebuked her but she did not give up her habit. One night she began
to slander the Prophet (peace be upon him) and abuse him. So he took
a dagger, placed it on her belly, pressed it, and killed her. A
child who came between her legs was smeared with the blood that was
there. When the morning came, the Prophet (peace be upon him) was
informed about it. He assembled the people and said: I adjure by
Allah the man who has done this action and I adjure him by my right
to him that he should stand up. Jumping over the necks of the people
and trembling the man stood up. He sat before the Prophet (peace be
upon him) and said: Apostle of Allah! I am her master; she used to
abuse you and disparage you. I forbade her, but she did not stop,
and I rebuked her, but she did not abandon her habit. I have two
sons like pearls from her, and she was my companion. Last night she
began to abuse and disparage you. So I took a dagger, put it on her
belly and pressed it till I killed her. Thereupon the Prophet
(peace be upon him) said: Oh be witness, no retaliation is payable
for her blood.
Kill Ka'b bin Al-Ashraf
Sahih
Al-Bukhari HadithHadith 5.369 Narrated byJabir bin Abdullah
Allah's Apostle said, "Who is willing to kill Ka'b bin Al-Ashraf who
has hurt Allah and His Apostle?" Thereupon Muhammad bin Maslama got
up saying, "O Allah's Apostle! Would you like that I kill him?" The
Prophet said, "Yes," Muhammad bin Maslama said, "Then allow me to
say a (false) thing (i.e. to deceive Kab)." The Prophet said, "You
may say it." Then Muhammad bin Maslama went to Kab and said, "That
man (i.e. Muhammad demands Sadaqa (i.e. Zakat) from us, and he has
troubled us, and I have come to borrow something from you." On that,
Kab said, "By Allah, you will get tired of him!" Muhammad bin
Maslama said, "Now as we have followed him, we do not want to leave
him unless and until we see how his end is going to be. Now we want
you to lend us a camel load or two of food." (Some difference
between narrators about a camel load or two.) Kab said, "Yes, (I
will lend you), but you should mortgage something to me." Muhammad
bin Mas-lama and his companion said, "What do you want?" Ka'b
replied, "Mortgage your women to me." They said, "How can we
mortgage our women to you and you are the most handsome of the
'Arabs?" Ka'b said, "Then mortgage your sons to me." They said, "How
can we mortgage our sons to you? Later they would be abused by the
people's saying that so-and-so has been mortgaged for a camel load
of food. That would Cause us great disgrace, but we will mortgage
our arms to you." Muhammad bin Maslama and his companion promised
Kab that Muhammad would return to him. He came to Kab at night along
with Kab's foster brother, Abu Na'ila. Kab invited them to come into
his fort, and then he went down to them. His wife asked him, "Where
are you going at this time?" Kab replied, "None but Muhammad bin
Maslama and my (foster) brother Abu Na'ila have come." His wife
said, "I hear a voice as if dropping blood is from him," Ka'b said.
"They are none but my brother Muhammad bin Maslama and my foster
brother Abu Naila. A generous man should respond to a call at night
even if invited to be killed." Muhammad bin Maslama went with two
men. (Some narrators mention the men as 'Abu bin Jabr, Al Harith bin
Aus and Abbad bin Bishr). So Muhammad bin Maslama went in together
with two men, and said to them, "When Ka'b comes, I will touch his
hair and smell it, and when you see that I have got hold of his
head, strip him. I will let you smell his head." Kab bin Al-Ashraf
came down to them wrapped in his clothes, and diffusing perfume.
Muhammad bin Maslama said, "I have never smelt a better scent than
this. Ka'b replied, "I have got the best 'Arab women who know how to
use the high class of perfume." Muhammad bin Maslama requested Ka'b
"Will you allow me to smell your head?" Ka'b said, "Yes." Muhammad
smelt it and made his companions smell it as well. Then he requested
Ka'b again, "Will you let me (smell your head)?" Ka'b said, "Yes."
When Muhammad got a strong hold of him, he said (to his companions),
"Get at him!" So they killed him and went to the Prophet and
informed him. (Abu Rafi) was killed after Ka'b bin Al-Ashraf."
*Notes:When
the Holy Prophet came to Madinah, the Jews made an agreement with
him, by the terms of which Jews and Muslims were to live as one
people, both retaining their own faith, and in the case of an attack
on Madinah or an unaggressive war with a third party they bound
themselves to help each other.
Ka'b bin Ashraf, the chief of the Bani an-Nadir, cried out: "By
God, if Muhammad has actually killed these nobles of Arabia, the
earth's belly would be better for us than its back." Then he went to
Makkah and incited the people to vengeance by writing and reciting
provocative elegies for the Quraish chiefs killed at Badr. Then he
returned to Madinah and composed lyrical verses of an insulting
nature about the Muslim women. At last, enraged with his mischief,
the Holy Prophet (upon whom be Allah's peace) sent Muhammad bin
Maslamah Ansari in Rabi al-Awwal, A. H. 3, and had him slain. Ibn
Sad, Ibn Hisham, Tabari).
Ka'b,
who was bound by the Madinah treaty, now used his poetic gift freely
to excite hatred of Islam and the Muslims. Not content with this, he
proceeded to Makkah and openly joined hands with the enemies of
Islam.
According to Ibn Abbas, once Ka'b bin Ashraf (the Jewish chief of
Madinah) came to Makkah and the Quraish chiefs said to him: "Just
see this boy, who is cut off from his people; he thinks he is
superior to us, whereas we manage the Hajj, look after the Ka'bah
and water the pilgrims."
http://www.bismikaallahuma.org/archives/2006/false-allegations-of-atrocities-ii
Sahih Al-Bukhari HadithHadith 4.271 Narrated byJabir
The
Prophet said, "Who is ready to kill Ka'b bin Ashraf (i.e. a Jew)."
Muhammad bin Maslama replied, "Do you like me to kill him?" The
Prophet replied in the affirmative. Muhammad bin Maslama said, "Then
allow me to say what I like." The Prophet replied, "I do (i.e. allow
you)."
it is understood that if a person insult
PROPHET SAW he should be executed but the
problem is what should be done if he repent
there are difference of opinion of ulema in
this regard some says he should be forgiven
some says he should be executed even some
says that he should not be given a chance to
repent .
now when a matter is hidden and a person
repent it is between him and ALLAH but once
its come to the sharia then the punishment
is compulsory even after repentence eg.
a woman came to PROPHET SAW and said i did
adultery , she was pregnant PROPHET SAW
asked her first to give birth to that child
them to come . when she gave birth to her
child she came again . PROPHET SAW asked her
to feed her child for 2 years then come
again . she fed her child for 2 years and
came again . then PROPHET SAW asked sahaba
to stoned her to death . while the sahaba
were stoning her , her blood made the
clothes of a sahaba dirty he felt bad and
said something bad to her . PROPHET SAW said
to the sahaba , do u know if at this time
she ask forgivness for all my ummat from
ALLAH , ALLAH will forgive all my ummat .
she is that much pure now .
from this hadith we come to know that she
repent and she came by herself to PROPHET
SAW and even her pray got the power for
forgivness of all the ummat but still she
was stoned coz she did adultry and the
matter came to the sharia.

Mischief makers
All Blasphemers should be killed or crucified.
All people who make mischief on Earth are liable
to be killed or crucified.
If we don't kill them, they sit on our heads and
spread false propaganda.
5.033 The punishment of those who wage war
against Allah and His Messenger, and strive with
might and main for mischief through the land is:
execution, or crucifixion, or the cutting off of
hands and feet from opposite sides, or exile
from the land: that is their disgrace in this
world, and a heavy punishment is theirs in the
Hereafter;
5.034 Except for those who repent before
they fall into your power: in that case, know
that Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful.
Tafsir on 5:33,34 by ibn kathir
The Punishment of those Who Cause Mischief in
the Land
Allah said next,
﴿إِنَّمَا جَزَآءُ الَّذِينَ يُحَارِبُونَ اللَّهَ
وَرَسُولَهُ وَيَسْعَوْنَ فِى الاٌّرْضِ فَسَاداً
أَن يُقَتَّلُواْ أَوْ يُصَلَّبُواْ أَوْ تُقَطَّعَ
أَيْدِيهِمْ وَأَرْجُلُهُم مِّنْ خِلَـفٍ أَوْ
يُنفَوْاْ مِنَ الاٌّرْضِ﴾
(The recompense of those who wage war against
Allah and His Messenger and do mischief in the
land is only that they shall be killed or
crucified or their hands and their feet be cut
off on the opposite sides, or be exiled from the
land.) `Wage war' mentioned here means, oppose
and contradict, and it includes disbelief,
blocking roads and spreading fear in the
fairways. Mischief in the land refers to various
types of evil. Ibn Jarir recorded that `Ikrimah
and Al-Hasan Al-Basri said that the Ayat,
﴿إِنَّمَا جَزَآءُ الَّذِينَ يُحَارِبُونَ اللَّهَ
وَرَسُولَهُ﴾
(The recompense of those who wage war against
Allah and His Messenger) until,
﴿إِنَّ اللَّهَ غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ﴾
|
(Allah is Of-Forgiving, Most Merciful,) "Were
revealed about the idolators. Therefore, the
Ayah decrees that, whoever among them repents
before you apprehend them, then you have no
right to punish them. This Ayah does not save a
Muslim from punishment if he kills, causes
mischief in the land or wages war against Allah
and His Messenger and then joins rank with the
disbelievers, before the Muslims are able to
catch him. He will still be liable for
punishment for the crimes he committed.'' Abu
Dawud and An-Nasa'i recorded that `Ikrimah said
that Ibn `Abbas said that the Ayah,
﴿إِنَّمَا جَزَآءُ الَّذِينَ يُحَارِبُونَ اللَّهَ
وَرَسُولَهُ وَيَسْعَوْنَ فِى الاٌّرْضِ فَسَاداً﴾
(The recompense of those who wage war against
Allah and His Messenger and do mischief in the
land...) "Was revealed concerning the idolators,
those among them who repent before being
apprehended, they will still be liable for
punishment for the crimes they committed.'' The
correct opinion is that this Ayah is general in
meaning and includes the idolators and all
others who commit the types of crimes the Ayah
mentioned. Al-Bukhari and Muslim recorded that
Abu Qilabah `Abdullah bin Zayd Al-Jarmi, said
that Anas bin Malik said, "Eight people of the `Ukl
tribe came to the Messenger of Allah and gave
him their pledge to follow Islam. Al-Madinah's
climate did not suit them and they became sick
and complained to Allah's Messenger . So he
said,
«أَلَا تَخْرُجُونَ مَعَ رَاعِينَا فِي إِبِلِهِ،
فَتُصِيبُوا مِنْ أَبْوَالِهَا وَأَلْبَانِهَا»
(Go with our shephard to be treated by the milk
and urine of his camels.) So they went as
directed, and after they
|
drank from the camels' milk and urine, they
became healthy, and they killed the shepherd and
drove away all the camels. The news reached the
Prophet and he sent (men) in their pursuit and
they were captured. He then ordered that their
hands and feet be cut off (and it was done), and
their eyes were branded with heated pieces of
iron. Next, they were put in the sun until they
died.'' This is the wording of Muslim. In
another narration for this Hadith, it was
mentioned that these people were from the tribes
of `Ukl or `Uraynah. Another narration reported
that these people were put in the Harrah area
(of Al-Madinah), and when they asked for water,
no water was given to them. Allah said,
﴿أَن يُقَتَّلُواْ أَوْ يُصَلَّبُواْ أَوْ
تُقَطَّعَ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَأَرْجُلُهُم مِّنْ خِلَـفٍ
أَوْ يُنفَوْاْ مِنَ الاٌّرْضِ﴾
(they shall be killed or crucified or their
hands and their feet be cut off on the opposite
sides, or be exiled from the land.) `Ali bin Abi
Talhah said that Ibn `Abbas said about this
Ayah, `He who takes up arms in Muslim land and
spreads fear in the fairways and is captured,
the Muslim Leader has the choice to either have
him killed, crucified or cut off his hands and
feet.'' Similar was said by Sa`id bin Al-Musayyib,
Mujahid, `Ata', Al-Hasan Al-Basri, Ibrahim An-Nakha`i
and Ad-Dahhak, as Abu Ja`far Ibn Jarir recorded.
This view is supported by the fact that the word
Aw (or), indicates a choice. As Allah said,
|
صِيَاماً﴾
(The penalty is an offering, brought to the Ka`bah, of an eatable animal
equivalent to the one he killed, as adjudged by two just men among you;
or, for expiation, he should feed the poor, or its equivalent in
fasting.)﴿5:95﴾ Allah said,
﴿فَمَن كَانَ مِنكُم مَّرِيضًا أَوْ بِهِ أَذًى مِّن رَّأْسِهِ فَفِدْيَةٌ
مِّن صِيَامٍ أَوْ صَدَقَةٍ أَوْ نُسُكٍ﴾
(And whosoever of you is ill or has an ailment in his scalp
(necessitating shaving), he must pay a ransom of either fasting or
giving charity or offering a sacrifice.) and,
﴿فَكَفَّارَتُهُ إِطْعَامُ عَشَرَةِ مَسَـكِينَ مِنْ أَوْسَطِ مَا
تُطْعِمُونَ أَهْلِيكُمْ أَوْ كِسْوَتُهُمْ أَوْ تَحْرِيرُ رَقَبَةٍ﴾
(...for its expiation feed ten of the poor, on a scale of the average of
that with which you feed your own families, or clothe them, or free a
slave.) All of these Ayat offer a choice, just as the Ayah above. As for
Allah's statement,
﴿أَوْ يُنفَوْاْ مِنَ الاٌّرْضِ﴾
(or be exiled from the land.) some said that it
means, he is actively pursued until he is
captured, and thus receives his prescribed
punishment, or otherwise he escapes from the
land of Islam, as Ibn Jarir recorded from Ibn `Abbas,
Anas bin Malik, Sa`id bin Jubayr, Ad-Dahhak, Ar-Rabi`
bin Anas, Az-Zuhri, Al-Layth bin Sa`d and Malik
bin Anas. Some said that the Ayah means these
people are expelled to another land, or to
another state by the Muslims authorities. Sa`id
bin Jubayr, Abu Ash-Sha`tha', Al-Hasan, Az-Zuhri,
Ad-Dahhak and Muqatil bin Hayyan said that he is
expelled, but not outside of the land of Islam,
while others said that he is to be imprisoned.
Allah's statement,
﴿ذَلِكَ لَهُمْ خِزْىٌ فِى الدُّنْيَا وَلَهُمْ
فِى الاٌّخِرَةِ عَذَابٌ عَظِيمٌ﴾
(That is their disgrace in this world, and a
great torment is theirs in the Hereafter.)
means, the punishment We prescribed, killing
these aggressors, crucifying them, cutting off
their hands and feet on opposite sides, or
expelling them from the land is a disgrace for
them among mankind in this life, along with the
tremendous torment Allah has prepared for them
in the Hereafter. This view supports the opinion
that these Ayat were revealed about the
idolators. As for Muslims, in his Sahih, Muslim
recorded that `Ubadah bin As-Samit said, "The
Messenger of Allah took the same pledge from us
that he also took from women: That we do not
associate anything with Allah in worship, we do
not steal, commit adultery, or kill our
children, and that we do not spread falsehood
about each other.
|
He said that he who keeps this pledge, then his
reward will be with Allah. He who falls into
shortcomings and was punished, then this will be
his expiation. And those whose errors were
covered by Allah, then their matter is for
Allah: If He wills, He will punish them and If
He wills, He will pardon them.'' `Ali narrated
that the Messenger of Allah said,
«مَنْ أَذْنَبَ ذَنْبًا فِي الدُّنْيَا فَعُوقِبَ
بِهِ، فَاللهُ أَعْدَلُ مِنْ أَنْ يُثَنِّيَ
عُقُوبَتَهُ عَلى عَبْدِهِ، وَمَنْ أَذْنَبَ
ذَنْبًا فِي الدُّنْيَا فَسَتَرهُ اللهُ عَلَيْهِ
وَعَفَا عَنْهُ، فَاللهُ أَكْرَمُ مِنْ أَنْ
يَعُودَ عَلَيْهِ فِي شَيْءٍ قَدْ عَفَا عَنْه»
(He who sins in this life and was punished for
it, then Allah is far more just than to combine
two punishments on His servant. He who commits
an error in this life and Allah hides this error
and pardons him, then Allah is far more generous
than to punish the servant for something that He
has already pardoned.) iRecorded by Ahmad, Ibn
Majah and At-Tirmidhi who said, "Hasan
Gharib.''Al-Hafiz Ad-Daraqutni was asked about
this Hadith, and he said that it was related to
the Prophet in some narrations, and it was
related to the Companions in others, and that
this narration from the Prophet is Sahih. Ibn
Jarir commented on Allah's statement,
﴿ذَلِكَ لَهُمْ خِزْىٌ فِى الدُّنْيَا﴾
(That is their disgrace in this world,)
"Meaning, shame, humiliation, punishment,
contempt and torment in this life, before the
Hereafter,
﴿وَلَهُمْ فِى الاٌّخِرَةِ عَذَابٌ عَظِيمٌ﴾
(and a great torment is theirs in the
Hereafter.) if they do not repent from these
errors until death overcomes them. In this case,
they will be stricken by the punishment that We
prescribed for them in this life and the torment
that We prepared for them therein,
﴿عَذَابٌ عظِيمٌ﴾
(a great torment) in the Fire of Jahannam.'' [Tafsir
ends here]

If the blasphemy is proven and
its unintentional and by mistake ,then be a
muslim or a non-muslim if he repents b4 geting
into the hands of authority or any muslim then
he may be forgiven.[this is mischief before getting
into the hands of authority because one must be
careful when talking about religion & religious
personalities ,not
to spread slanders,gossip,false accusations etc
and he/she is a muslim then he/she must not
speak without knowledge]
if it was intentional then it must meet
punishment whether a muslim or a non-muslim be
it Islamic government/Khilafah or unIslamic govt.
Dealing with Apostates Bukhari :: Book 9 ::
Volume 84 :: Hadith 61 Narrated 'Aisha:
A group of Jews asked permission to visit the
Prophet (and when they were admitted) they said,
"As-Samu 'Alaika (Death be upon you)." I said
(to them), "But death and the curse of Allah be
upon you!" The Prophet said, "O 'Aisha! Allah is
kind and lenient and likes that one should be
kind and lenient in all matters." I said,
"Haven't you heard what they said?" He said, "I
said (to them), 'Wa 'Alaikum (and upon you).

General Behavior (Kitab Al-Adab)
Dawud :: Book 41 : Hadith 4858
Narrated Sa'id ibn Zayd:
The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: The most prevalent kind of usury
is going to lengths in talking unjustly against a Muslim's honour.
in quran usury is war against Allah and his apostle.disgracing the
honour of prophet Muhammad salla lahu alaihi wa salalm is declaration of
war and any muslim can retaliate to it ,its best if Islamic govt does in
the absence of Islamic govt any individual can retaliate because Allah says
in Quran mfight heavily or lightly.
Sunan of Abu-DawoodHadith 2678 Narrated bySa'id
ibn Yarbu' al-Makhzumi
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: on the day
of the conquest of Mecca: There are four persons
whom I shall not give protection in the sacred
and non-sacred territory. He then named them.
There were two singing girls of al-Maqis; one of
them was killed and the other escaped and
embraced Islam.

Abusing Allah and Rasool Allah
salla lahu alaihi wa aalaihi wa sallam not allowed
4:140 Already has He sent you word in the Book
that when ye hear the signs of Allah held in
defiance and ridicule ye are not to sit with
them unless they turn to a different theme: if
ye did ye would be like them. For Allah will
collect the Hypocrites and those who defy faith
all in hell.
6:108 Revile not ye those whom they call upon
besides Allah lest they out of spite revile
Allah in their ignorance. Thus have We made
alluring to each people its own doings. In the
end will they return to their Lord and We shall
then tell them the truth of all that they did.
63:8 They say "If we return to Madinah surely
the more honorable (element) will expel there
from the meaner." But honor belongs to Allah and
His Apostle and to the Believers; but the
Hypocrites know not.
61:9 It is He Who has sent His Apostle with
Guidance and the Religion of Truth that he may
proclaim it over all religion even though the
Pagans may detest (it)

Indeed apostacy punishment is applicable in an
Islamic state,but even if its not Islamic state per se,law can be also be applicable in a so called muslim govered state .Ex pakistan ,where hudood laws
are not completely applied such as theft but
punishment for apostasy is applied.Insulting prophet muhammad sall lahu
alaihi wa sallam by a muslim leads to apostacy,if such incident reaches
authority with proofs then the punishment is applied with or without
repentence.If a non-muslim abuses living in an Islamic or so called
muslim country and its information reaches authority then death
punishment is applied with or without repentence.
In an UnIslamic state purely governed by non-muslims ,abusing Prophet
Muhammad sall lahu alaihi wa sallam ,if its proven with or without
repentence except in cases when repentence leads to conversion of the
repentant the punishment can be applied by any Muslim if it causes
mischief,if it is to create mischief just like Salman Rushdie's case,it
was intentional to create mischief.
If a religious debate is going on among muslims and non-muslims for
example debates like that of Ahmed deedat and Zakir naik then
discussions are allowed and lies of non-muslim debator can be refuted.But
that which is purely done for the sake of mischief with be punished.
The same ruling is applied for reviling Allah subhanawatala,abusing
Quran,because Quran is Allah's speach .
Exactly when we are sure that its media mischief
which people are believing ignorantly then its best to educate them.
It does'nt comes naturally to abuse even ethically,irrespective of
religion.Religious figures are not abused,its common sense.Even
consitution of countires demand respect for others religion.If people do
not know about Islam then they may ask for clarification in dignified
manner.
People do not tolerate slander of their family members or themselves and
file defamation cases then by common sense religion and religious figures
hold great importance.
Initially apostaes were not killed but later this was
abrogated and they were killed if they dont repent within 3 days .
Incase of abusing,initially no punishment was given but later the
punishment was death.And yes,in an Islamic state or if there is so called muslim state then
punishment is implemented by the govt
Everything right is from Allah and wrong is from me.May Allah
subhanawatala forgive my mistakes. |
